The Apple California Streaming event just finished and I gotta say... Overall it did not disappoint.
There were a couple of hick ups we will talk about that in a minute.
But we had surprises with the iPad and iPad Mini.
We had the new Apple Watch Series 7
And the star of the show, the new iPhone 13.
Don't know about you but I was getting bored of talking about these products,
especially the iPhone 13 and trying to second guess what would happen.
Ohh, it feels nice to not be second guessing based
on rumors and leaks anymore. We can now talk about real products, real features.
Big thumps on the features
We opened with the iPad 9! A13 bionic chip for it, that is a great upgrade!!
Center Stage is coming to this iPad too which is awesome.
Starting at $329 this is a steal
Big Thumbs up here Apple.
iPad Mini We then went
to the iPad Mini! New edge-to-edge screen
A15 Bionic chip for this little fella!!
Liquid Retina 8.3 inch Display,
and this I love...
TouchID!!!! AND....
AND USB-C!!!!
It features a Ultrawide 12MP front facing camera and a wide 12MP camera at the back.
And it now supports the Apple Pencil. That will be a great little iPad, starting at $499
Apple Watch We moved on quickly to the next generation of
Apple Watch... They purposely teased it not showing us the actual watch close up but then....
HUGE... HUGE... DISAPPOINTMENT
This is the problem with leaks guys. They can hype us up to expect something really cool.
But in this case, it disappointed, big time.
Unless you are a Pilates or skiing fan lol In all seriousness, the benefits are seem
very minor to me.
iPhone 13 and 13 Mini
Ok, we then went to the star of the show, the new iPhone 13 and Mini.
With the iPhone 13 and 13 mini we are getting five new colours!
CERAMIC shield, IP68 water resistance.
Dual camera system with a new Ultrawide and wide camera
with that sensor shift technology that came from the 12 Pro model.
So say goodbye to your shaky videos!
With the new A15 Bionic chip came the big numbers: 50% faster, 30% faster graphics than the
competition, 15 billion transistors and you get the message.
But what I really enjoyed hearing is the new "Cinematic mode"
And when I saw the sample footage that they were showing I was like... See that
is more like it, it's not just blurring the background it's adding professional
looking focus shifting.. to your smartphone.
I mean...That is incredible. In real-time,
transitions of focus moving from one subject to another. That is just mind blowing...
Or you can yourself change the focus by tapping on the subject you want to have in focus.
That is a big surprise for me, I wasn't expecting this to be available
on the standard iPhone 13, I really thought this would be a Pro feature.
And the other nice feature is the storage
of 128, 256 and 512GB. So no more 68GB option which is really nice.
What else is really nice, these cases from our sponsors, Casetify!!
If you are getting the iPhone 13 you should definitely get
a CAsetify case to protect your new phone.
Casetify already have new cases which you can see here on their website.
Their cases are made from 65% recycled AND plant based materials.
their chee-tech 2.0 tech offers 9.8 feet drop protection and the shock
absorbing material in here is made with recycled and plant based materials too!
Lots of print options, so you are never bored of your new iPhone
and even customised options for that personal touch.
Not only that, they come with Defensify which is their own technology to kill 99%
of bacteria and actually prevent bacteria from sticking to the surface in the first place.
Their Impact case offers 6.6 feet drop protection and the Ultra Impact cases
offer 9.8 feet drop protection.
I don't have the iPhone 13 yet but I've drop tested their cases several times here on the
channel, with the 12 Pro Max, even out of a moving car! Incredible protection!
What else is incredible? The new iPhone 13 Pro Max!

13 Pro and Pro Max I love that Sierra Blue new
colour! I am sure there will be a new extra color in one of those "One more thing" announcements.
Maybe an orange iPhone? We will see.
That new camera system is everything I was hoping for.
That A15 bionic chip with 2 high performance, 4 new high efficiency cores,
faster neural engine and a bigger GPU. This promises to be an absolute beast!
We are getting a new display! SUPER Retina XDR
With 1000 nits brightness now. And... you guessed it. 120Hz Promotion.
As we thought, it is an adaptive display that goes to 120Hz when needed and all
the way down to 10Hz for example when not needed.
There was no sign of Always on display.
But we are getting a Larger sensor, and 3 new cameras (A wide, Telephoot and Ultrawide)
3X optical zoom, fantastic for portrait shots.
And now we can do Macro photography! Not a new thing and we could argue this could have been
done on 12 Pro Max, but hey... We got it now! And Macro videos too with slow motion and time-lapse!!
The Wide camera is meant to capture twice more light now for better low light photos and videos,
and the ultrawide also captures more light, I can't wait to try that.
And... Photographic styles. This is what we meant by AI Filters.
Here is a question I have... Why can't we have that feature on the 12 Pro Max? It's
mainly a software thing right? Or are we saying the 12 Pro Max A14 is no good?
That Cinematic mode though... As soon as it was rumoured I got excited for it and
boy they really seem to have delivered on this.
We can't say for sure until we have it here with us but the evidence is mind blowing.
These features are EXACTLY what I was expecting.
Up to 1TB storage now, birlliant. And of course,
the long awaited 120Hz display, aka SUPER RETINA XDR. Let the gaming begin!
Can;t wait to put that to the test, is it everything we've been hoping for?
how will it compare with the S21 ultra for example?
One of the issues I found when comparing the 12 Pro Max
before was how dim it looked outdoors in comparison with the S21 Ultra.
With the 13 Pro now 25% brighter outdoors, pushing up to 1200 nits at peak brightness,
I wonder how it will compare now.
And the new battery??
1.5 hours longer, and 2.5 hours longer than the 12.
I was saying, if I can get above 8 hours screen on time, that is a major deal. The battery on
the 12 is fantastic already but this looks like we will finally have above 8 hours SOT.
Pre-order this Friday and Available September 24th
And I will see you and your smiling faces on the next one!
